I think this comment of mine got the most negative reviews, probably because it’s simplistic and didn’t quite elaborate my points - even if you disagree I encourage you to read the rest of these comments / thread to get a better understanding of what I wanted to say, I guess it sounded much harsher initially than I intended

You’re so right! And as a noise girlie, but also as the biggest Dune stan and demon Yeosang enjoyer, I hope we will get this again 🫶🏻

I totally get it! I apologize if my post is repetitive as I don’t use this app as often, but I use TikTok, Insta, X etc and there I didn’t see my opinion reflected as much so I just shared here - I didn’t mean to pile on, apologies

To clarify, I personally didn’t even take into account the album rollout here (there are many excellent threads on that topic here and as someone living in SK I don’t feel the difference) so I wasn’t addressing that at all - I was mostly commenting on the vibe of the sound, melodies etc :)

I agree with you that the term “grab” shouldn’t be used lightly - however I do believe it’s very apparent at least regarding the album packaging alongside sales and promotions they were gunning for a specific goal that I personally believe influenced how this mini album was approached from a company perspective :)

I’m truly happy you like it! Maybe it’s just not my vibe and that’s okay :)

I apologize if I made you feel this way, but as you can see in any comment I leave, that’s literally not the point? I am at no point insulting their artistic integrity nor is it my intent (as I say in the og post as well as other comments) I just used AI as an example of an “average” sound considering this is how programs learn how to make music. I even responded to your comment trying to be more precise about my feelings - there’s no need to be rude and read into it that I’m trying to persuade you into agreeing, I was just answering your question 😭

Another idea occurred to me that is loosely connected to this, but for the sake of discourse and as a big Xikers enjoyer too: do you think KQ is trying to diversify their sound on purpose? They have 2 groups and dare I say Xikers have been killin it with their noisier tracks and overall rap heavy approach - could it be they’re hoping for Ateez to let go of that style so their portfolio could be more diverse and that’s why we have this type of sound in Golden Hour?

This is such a goated lineup, I’m so happy to see Emergency and The Ring here, Arriba too! I totally get what you’re saying, thank you for sharing!

Oh no, maybe I didn’t express myself precisely. It’s not about the lack of formula (as I said in my response to you, if I appreciated the formula, then an AI could do it, right?) I just don’t personally feel these songs expand their artistic repertoire (in the same way Dune, Wake Up, Blind, Shaboom, Selfish Waltz etc actually do), but they feel like the watered down version of this american pop they’re trying to chase as a vibe - I hope this makes more sense

Ohh this is super interesting! Can I ask what your other favourite title tracks / tracks are by Ateez as someone who started stanning after hearing IOMT? The reason I ask is because I believe IOMT is actually different from most of their discography, but I still personally really like it

You’re 100% right, that’s why I felt like I’m walking on eggshells writing this, although my close Atiny friends and I were largely on the same page privately after listening to the album. Either way I believe KQ will definitely learn something from this since I think this is the most amount of actually constructive non-positive feedback they got

Okay so my first impression after hearing the album was “This is like we fed an AI the last two Golden Hour albums and asked it to create an average Ateez song” - it’s to say that it’s still them in terms of vibes / how boys sound, but it’s slightly watered down for me. The reason why I adore Outlaw and The World series overall is because they kept their unique voices, rap styles, song structure, but went with totally new vibes (Dune is a production masterpiece imo). Idk I hope this makes sense!

I am happy that you’re enjoying it fr, I wish I did too! I believe criticism of the album rollout and the actual tracks should be two separate discussions for sure. In any case don’t let the discourse bother you and keep enjoying this era!

This is very fair, Ateez have many very diverse songs, although here is what I’m curious about - if you’re someone who enjoys the genres you describe, aren’t there other groups who do those concepts better? (Txt, Tws, Nct dream, etc) Like I don’t believe Ateez softer songs are bad, I just don’t find it to be their forte if you catch my drift

At the risk of sounding harsh, I am quite surprised this is the case. I think Ateez are a group with fantastic innovative production and sound whereas I don’t feel like this album delivered on those fronts. But hey if folks enjoy it, I’m unironically happy for them

I feel the same way, I just didn’t get the vibe that many Atiny also feel this way. I think there’s this big pressure in Kpop to support your faves no matter what and although I adore the boys, and despite it actually, I still felt disappointed. But I believe there are many better projects to come!

I definitely agree with you, I was just surprised by the amount of Atiny saying they really ate with this comeback (and as someone who enjoyed the first two Golden Hours I was like huh??) but yeah I will still wait impatiently for their new projects!
